Sink hole in candles

Candle Production and Quality SIG

We've been having problems with a sinkhole/crater in the 18 oz and 28 oz candles we are pouring. The top forms over but then later, after full cooling, there is a crater or sinkhole on the top.

How can we prevent or fix? We are not pouring at a high temperature -- 140-150. We are not pouring too quickly, either.

Color problem

Chandler Guild Training Ground | Candlemaking Best Practices

Some of our colors in glass containers are having white spots in them. We mix the dye in @190 and it is very well mixed but when the candles cool, white specks appear. This does not happen to all of the candles but only some of them -- even though they are poured seconds apart. Any ideas for how to fix?

Thanks,

Foam Wick Stickers

Village Chandler Marketplace | Supplier Recommendations

Looking for a supplier of foam wick stickers. These are not the flat Glue Dots that tend to melt and slide around. Does anybody know where to buy them?
